Bill Throm - Class of 1962

Do you all remember the unique way of introducing the starting line-up for all the home games? I sure do. All the lights would go out and then a spot light would shine down on the court. As the players names were given, they would run out to the center under the light. The reason I remember this so well is because I was operating the spot light. It was kind of a balancing act as I had little room to manuver up above the bleachers.

(Bill was the first one to operate the spot light and it continued thru Eathorne's tenure. He was a four year letterman in wrestling but loved basketball. Just too small! He was a back to back Goldenball All-star and played several years in city league. He played on Sunday afternoons at the school and during the summer at Lebo court where Les had a summer league.)
